2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give you understanding in all things. When a sceptic once went to a Christian minister to have his doubts and difficulties solved, the minister asked, "Have you gone and asked God, the fountain of light and the source of all wisdom, for the solution of your difficulties?" On the perplexed man's replying he had not, the minister declined to try and assist him out of his perplexities till he had attended to this necessary and important duty. When we ask wisdom as well as light and instruction from God, He will give us mental and spiritual capacities, to prepare us for rightly apprehending truths; and He will also give us sufficient opportunities for gaining wisdom, and then aid and prosper us in our effort to acquire it. Wisdom is to knowledge like what the engineer is to the locomotive — a director, a controller, and a manager. Religion is the highest wisdom of all. (See Proverbs 4:7; Deuteronomy 32:29; Psalm 90:12; Proverbs 2:6; James 1:5.) (H. R. Burton.)
